Hello from the Critique Club!!

My first reaction to this shot is , Wow how pretty, the colours are lovely along with the flower.

Technically it is over sharpened, you have got the flowers and the head of the butterfly spot on, but the wings are seem to be very oversharpened. There is a distinct halo around one of the legs, the top wing has a distinct blur around it, which I am sure was caused by the butterfly moving.

The blues are over saturated and come across as blown out and appear almost sparkly on the wings. The position of the butterfly is a good one bar the top of the wing cut off. I think that if you are going to go with the butterfly wings cut off, then make a tube with your hand and look through it, it is a close crop of just the head and a little of the body, but would have cut out the blurred wings.

A bit over sharpened I think, though I like the position of the insect within the frame of the photo.
